Description
Amazon.com 'How does a dinosaur say good night when Papa comes in to
turn off the light? Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout? Does he
throw his teddy bear all about? Does a dinosaur stomp his feet on the
floor and shout: 'I want to hear one book more!'? DOES A DINOSAUR ROAR?'
Most certainly not. Dinosaurs give their mommies and daddies big hugs
and kisses, tuck their tales in, and whisper 'Good night!' Every sleepy
little dinosaur will recognize the tricks of the trade in these bedtime
shenanigans. The chuckle factor is sky-high here, with giant, full-page
pictures of cleverly identified Tyrannosaurus rexes, triceratopses, and
Pteranodons. A variety of human mothers and fathers trying to put their
dinosaur children to bed will bring the point home that the story may
have something to do with human kid behavior as well. This good-natured
nighttime book is sure to be a winner (even though it might inspire a
few noisy dinosaur antics), especially as it's written by Jane Yolen,
prolific Caldecott Medalist author of Owl Moon. Yolen and Mark Teague
have teamed up to create a fun, silly, playful read-aloud. (Ages 3 to
7) --Emilie Coulter Read more Set to a lilting bedtime beat, this
rollicking rumpus of a tale ups the humor ante in a familiar scenario by
substituting dinosaurs for children: 'How does a dinosaur say good night
when Papa comes in to turn off the light?' In a series of snappy lines,
Yolen (Off We Go!, reviewed above; Queen's Own Fool, reviewed below)
highlights a variety of postponement antics, some familiar (moping,
sulking and demanding 'one book more!'), some of a distinctly dinosaur
variety--'Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout? Does he throw his
teddy bear all about?' Teague makes hay with the text, and as always his
illustrations are a flurry of sly madcap inspiration. He chooses the
winged Pteranodon (spelled out in ABC blocks on the bedroom floor) as
the character who throws his teddy bear while flying about the room; for
'Does he swing his neck from side to side' it's the snake-headed
Apatosaurus who does the swinging. Under his sure direction, the sight
gag never grows stale, and the sight of a T-Rex puckering up for a kiss,
or an enormous Stegosaurus crammed into a tiny bed and daintily turning
off the light switch with the tip of his tail, is sure to elicit
giggles. As the endpapers reveal, there's a cast of 10 dinosaurs
featured here, and sharp eyes will enjoy spotting their proper names
tucked into each illustration. This rib-tickling bedtime fare packs
plenty of appeal. Ages 2-up. (Apr.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business
